| In the West, gays and lesbians long had the impression that they were a victorious minority that was on its way to full legal and social equality. In the EU, most countries seem to be on course to eliminate the final inequalities of the past. But the strict gender dichotomy, problematic for both transgenders and homosexuals, remains enshrined in society. This collection shows the progress being made in Eastern Europe, and the obstacles that are being faced: from Belarus where gays and lesbian have to fear for their lives via the revulsion and rejection by Catholics and nationalists in other places, to the neglect by social institutions or the general public elsewhere. Homosexuality was and continues to be seen as a danger for the social body, as a contagious disease that endangers young people, while all churches railed against the sinful behaviour of queers. But in Eastern Europe new and vibrant queer movements open up new venues and situations for queering society beyond the old sexual conservatism of a vanishing generation, hanging on to its oldfashioned communist, Catholic or Orthodox anti-gay dogmas.
